F1 … F12 function keys

The function keys, not to be confused with Fn, are the 12 keys at the top of your
keyboard. These keys function differently from other keys.

F1 through F12 are called function keys because they execute programmed
functions when pressed. Used in combination with the Fn key, keys marked with
icons execute specific functions on the computer. See the section,

Soft keys: Fn key

combinations

, in this chapter. The function executed by individual keys depends on

the software you are using.

Soft keys: Fn key combinations

The Fn (function) is unique to TOSHIBA computers and is used in combination
with other keys to form soft keys. Soft keys are key combinations that enable,
disable or configure specific features.

NOTE: Some software may disable or interfere with soft-key operations.
Soft-key settings are not restored by the Standby feature.
